INSOMNIUM reveal 'Winter’s Gate' cover artwork

Finnish melodic deathsters INSOMNIUM have now revealed the cover artwork for their upcoming album “Winter’s Gate” which is penned for release on September 23rd release via Century Media Records.

'Winter’s Gate”'is a concept album that is made of 1 (one) epic 40 minute long song. The album is built around a short story 'Winter’s Gate' (Talven portti in Finnish) by vocalist & bassist Niilo Sevänen, which won awards and nominations in Finland back in 2007 and 2008. It’s a story about a group of Vikings who set out to find a fabled island west from Ireland, even though the winter is drawing near.

The full story is released together with the album as a book that has the tale in English, Finnish and German – illustrated by the artist Teemu Tähkänen.

The album is currently being mixed by Dan Swanö at Unisound AB studio in Sweden. A worldwide release through Century Media Records will be out September 23rd 2016. Tour dates for autumn and winter will be announced soon.

During the summer, fans can catch Insomnium live at a number of festivals - see dates below.
